Format & Conversion

GIF to JPG

Convert GIF images to JPG. GIF is built for short looping animation, paid for with a 256-colour palette; JPEG for photographs, and it is the one raster format every piece of software opens. JPG holds a single frame, so an animated GIF is reduced to its first frame. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency is flattened onto a solid background. JPG is lossy, trading some detail for a far smaller file. Keep the GIF if you still need the pristine original. Runs on your own Vistalyth Tools instance. Files never reach a third party.

Self-hosted. Your files never leave your network.

Frequently asked questions

Will converting GIF to JPG lose quality?
Only the first frame survives, so if the animation is the point, convert to WebP or MP4 instead and keep the motion.
What happens to transparent areas?
They are composited onto a background colour you choose, white by default. There is no way around it: JPG has nowhere to store an alpha channel.
Can I go back to GIF afterwards?
You can, and if JPG is lossless the round trip is clean. If JPG is lossy, converting back gives you a GIF wrapper around already-degraded pixels rather than the original.
